Answer:

(5, 0)

Explanation:

For the first line, we can isolate x by subtracting 5y on both sides.

x=5-5y.

Now we can use substitution on the second line!

-(5-5y)+6y=-5

= -5+5y+6y=-5

=-5+11y=-5

=11y=0

y=0

We subsitute y for the first line,

x+5(0)=5

x+0=5

x=5

We can check our work by plugging in x and y

5+5(0)=5 ✔

-5+6(0)=-5 ✔
